Alexsandro Amaral

Alexsandro Amaral is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and issues related to identity and relationships. He also supports clients dealing with trauma, ADHD, autism and problems with intimacy and self-esteem. He works in English, Spanish and Portuguese, which can help people whose lives cross different cultures or countries.

He uses an integrative, person-centred style that puts the client's experience first. Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to talk about patterns, feelings and choices. Techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are offered when they fit a person’s goals.

Alexsandro pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics, including abandonment and commitment concerns. He also offers support around body image, codependency, control issues, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture. Work may cover emotional regulation, communication skills and rebuilding trust with oneself.

Clients can expect calm, straightforward guidance and help setting realistic steps between sessions. The aim is to make change feel manageable rather than rushed. His three years of professional practice are used to tailor conversations to each person’s needs.

People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The focus is on helping individuals move through difficult moments and build clearer ways of coping.

How his approaches translate to online work

Alexsandro commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas along with Client-Centred practice. ACT focuses on values and practical actions, helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful steps. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how they shape current reactions, which is useful for intimacy and abandonment concerns. Client-centred therapy offers an empathic, non-directive space where the person’s perspective guides the pace and focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He treats the work as collaborative and will discuss what feels most useful based on the client’s goals, values and life context. This helps shape whether sessions use skills practice, reflective conversation, or relationship-focused exercises.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make multilingual support more accessible for people living abroad. Talk with him during the initial matching steps to agree the best practical setup for ongoing work.
